Short filmTranscript
00:00 I loves Hoppo.
00:02 God knows I do.
00:04 But I'll kill him dead
00:06 before I let him or anybody beat me.
00:09 All my life
00:13 I've had to fight!
00:16 Had to fight my daddy,
00:18 had to fight my brothers,
00:20 my cousins,
00:22 my uncles too.
00:25 But I never,
00:28 never, never, never, never, never
00:30 thought I'd have to fight
00:33 in my own house.
00:37 I feel sorry for you
00:49 to tell you the truth.
00:52 You remind me of my mama
00:55 under your husband's thumb.
00:57 No, you under your husband's foot!
01:01 What he say go.
01:03 Why you so scared?
01:06 I never know.
01:08 But if a man
01:10 raised his hand,
01:13 hell no.
01:15 Hell, hell, hell no.
01:18 Hell no!
01:20 Hell, hell, hell no.
01:26 Girl child ain't safe
01:28 in a family of men's.
01:31 Sick and tired of a woman
01:34 still live like a slave.
01:36 You better learn how to fight death
01:39 while you still alive.
01:42 You show them girls
01:45 and beat back that drive.
01:47 'Cause when a man
01:49 just don't give a damn,
01:53 hell no.
01:54 Hell, hell, hell no.
01:57 Hell no!
01:59 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:02 No, no, no, no!
02:05 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:08 Hell no!
02:10 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:13 No!
02:15 When that man
02:17 used to touch me,
02:20 he'd climb on top
02:22 and start to rock me away.
02:26 Lord knows
02:28 I still love him.
02:31 But he tried to make me mind
02:34 and I just ain't that kind.
02:37 Hell no!
02:38 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:41 Don't be no fool,
02:42 don't waste your time.
02:44 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:46 Any man that hurts you
02:48 ain't worth a dime.
02:49 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:52 No, no, no, you're too good for that man.
02:55 Hell, hell, hell no.
02:58 All you got to say,
03:01 you need to say,
03:02 you better say you ought to say.
03:07 Hell, hell, hell, hell, hell,
03:12 hell no!
